Ccminer is very unstable with 19 gpu's ..


I just wander why would anyone create system like that and get a  constant problems. Comparing to total system cost, an extra motherboard+cpu+memory would not be that big investment, but release complexity by times.

Well ...

Following the strict rules that are required to run such a machine, there really isn't much issues, let alone problems.

Once a design is set, it is very easy to duplicate. That is the reason you would go that route. Density plays a massive part if you are doing this on a larger scale.

That is why, at least for CWI.

Maybe the price of adding the extra mb/cpu/ram/ssd needs to be spelled out, thats like an extra $400-500. Fit as many GPU's as you can for the farms.  Cool

Not worth it...I've killed two motherboards trying to get past six graphics cards on normal motherboards...I think if you want to get 12 gpu's you should just buy a special motherboard with 12 pci express slots. If you want to save power buy more powerful graphics cards if you can get them. I can buy surplus hard drives for $10 and I can buy a ton of amd cpus and motherboards for like $150 or less...the more crap you add to a system the more likely it's going to fail by crashing consistently. also, the more power you draw on any circuit will reduce the performance at some point. you definitely don't want to put 8 1080 tis on one circuit unless you have a special electrical output setup by an electrician that can handle that situation. I've even been hooking up power supplies on different circuits when I'm daisy chaining them for added amperage and power stability. just my two cents...
